Our return to Clanwilliam was long overdue. Boskloof Road is very easy to find and the gravel surface relatively smooth for about 8km.|A lovely greeting from the fabled Gretha and we were across the road and into Cottage 6 Kliphuis. Completely separate and adjacent to another cottage for couples, both along the stream. The other family cottages are 100m or more distant. It is well equipped and the air conditioning and open fireplaces would cope with various temperatures. The bed is fairly small, perfectly adequate for 2 persons of smaller size - 60/65kg. Lots of little extras, such as tea/coffee/washing up liquid/milk which is often very useful. Loved the stoop and the visiting birds: most of all I enjoyed the pool, cool and clean and adequate for a bit of a swim. (We noticed that 2 families had come for a long weekend - regular customers - couples, both with 2 small children who obviously shared my feelings!). Our only reservation? We’re walkers and would have appreciated the opportunity to wander around the valley. However, there are several places within a short drive that we may use in future. Thank You Boskloof Swemgat for a...

Gretha is very friendly and helpful.
I really like this place,but certain issues needs to...
Read moreBoskloof Swemgat is beautiful and peaceful. We stayed in Kliphuis which has a jacuzzi out on the porch. The river is a few meters away and the water is wonderfully refreshing. The house had everything we needed and more. The aircon in the bedroom was a bonus! It is very private and perfect for a romantic getaway (we got engaged here!). Everything was clean and neat and the people who work there are very friendly and helpful. They also sell wood, charcoal, matches, snacks and more at reception. Please note that there is a gravel road, about 3 km long, leading up to the location and we saw two tortoises crossing the road, so be careful when driving. We will definitely return to...
